SESTO SAN GIOVANNI, Italy (Interstat) — Inter U23 will host Sorrento in Serie C play Saturday, pairing a home side seeking a return to form against a visitor with a stronger overall record. Inter U23 enters at 4-4-1 across all competitions, while Sorrento is 6-3-1. Sorrento has played 10 matches across all competitions, while Inter U23 has played nine.

Inter U23’s most recent outing ended in a 4-2 home loss to Monopoli on Saturday. Jan Zuberek delivered a strong individual performance in defeat, scoring twice while playing 90 minutes. Francesco Stante provided an assist in 90 minutes, and goalkeeper Alain Taho also went the full match. Zuberek has been central to Inter U23’s recent attack. In his previous appearance, a 4-0 win at Giugliano, he scored twice and added an assist in 30 minutes. He also scored twice in 90 minutes against Monopoli. Zuberek’s recent form has included two goals in each of his past two matches. Inter U23 will need that kind of production again as it faces a Sorrento side that has generally found points.

Sorrento is coming off a 0-0 draw at home against Casertana on Saturday. That result followed a 3-2 loss at Scafatese and a 2-0 home win against Casarano. Sorrento has shown an ability to score in bunches this season, including a 3-2 win at Cavese 1919, a 2-0 win at Giugliano and a 2-1 win at Salernitana. The visitors also have dropped decisions to Foggia, Bari and Scafatese. Their 6-3-1 mark across all competitions reflects a side that has generally found points but has also been vulnerable in tight matches.

Inter U23’s season has included a 4-0 win at Giugliano, a 3-2 home win over Foggia, a 2-0 win at Crotone and a 2-1 win at Catania. The home side also has a 1-1 draw with Altamura and losses to Savoia, Casertana, Picerno and Monopoli. Sorrento will be the visitor for a Saturday match that could affect the early Serie C table, with Inter U23 looking to use its home setting and Zuberek’s recent scoring touch to offset Sorrento’s stronger overall record.

After the match on Saturday, Sorrento is scheduled to face Altamura, Catania, Monopoli, Savoia and Cosenza. Inter U23’s upcoming slate includes Scafatese, Cosenza, Salernitana, Audace, Potenza and Barletta.
